Goals galore at Norfolk Christian youth tournament

2013: Goals were flying in left, right and centre during an action-packed day at the annual Norfolk Christian Football league youth five-a-side of football tournament on Saturday (May 18) at Sale Road recreation ground, Heartsease, Norwich.

After the previous year, when there were some disciplinary problems, league officials met the day before to pray for a peaceful and enjoyable tournament.

League chairman, Michael Culwick, said: “Beforehand we prayed that God would bless the day with His presence and we would have a peaceful tournament. Praise God that is what we had, the most enjoyable day of football without a single word of complaint and no reportable incidents of any kind.

Jim Green, vice chair, who presented the medals, said: “Jesus is the God of Peace, and that is what we have experienced today.

“The games were competitive and some were really close including a couple of penalty shoot-outs, with an excellent standard of football played by all teams, and very sporting throughout the day. Congratulations to all teams who took part,” said Michael.
